2012 Grand Cru

Soutiran's 2012 Grand Cru comes from a family-run house in Ambonnay. The cuvée is made from equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, both exclusively from grand cru sites. The wine spent seven years on the lees. Production is very limited.

On the nose, quince, pear and honey meet a distinct iodine minerality. On the palate it is supple and dense with fruit, yet fresh. The finish is full and harmonious. Serve it at 10 to 12°C in a large white wine glass. It suits an aperitif but is also good enough to carry a whole menu. In the cellar it can still rest for another three to five years.
